Reverse description Smaller armored bust of Duke Moritz of Saxony facing right, with the date 1542 incorporated into the surrounding Latin legend, which is divided at four points by small shields of arms. The inscription records the titles of Moritz, reading MAVRITI DVX SAX Z FI IV 15 4Z ANNEB. The jugate or sequential portrait arrangement reflects the co-rulership and dynastic sharing of authority between the Ernestinian and Albertine lines of the Wettin dynasty at this period.
